May 18, 2011 I'm on my way to Eddie's Sewing Club with partial supplies to make an Amy Butler Blue Sky Hat, everything needed to make three Cotton Ginnys Animal Blankets, but not a single thing for the assigned project: a zippered pouch for jewelry. Twice this year I've opted out of the intended class project… Continue reading A Sun Hat for my Mom

A Nostalgic Pincushion
Last night was my monthly sewing class at Eddie's Quilting Bee. The assigned project was The Abbey Bag pincushion from Abbey Lane Quilts. My instructor must have a good pulse on the blog world because I have read more about pincushions this month than I have... ever. For example, we have the 30 pincushions in… Continue reading A Nostalgic Pincushion
Four Nearly Finished Baby Blankets
Last night I managed to make a lot of headway towards checking the last goal of my March goals off of my list: make (four!) more baby blankets. I precut the minky over the weekend so that I'd have a fighting chance at getting the blankets finished during my sewing class at Eddie's Quilting Bee.… Continue reading Four Nearly Finished Baby Blankets
Sewing Class: More Baby Blankets
In this month's sewing class, we're supposed to make a fabric-covered binder with clear pockets inside the front and back covers. I'm opting instead to repeat a past class in order to complete one of my goals for the month: make more baby blankets for gifts. In preparation for the class, I cut out minky… Continue reading Sewing Class: More Baby Blankets

In between sewing projects in 2011, I’m going to recount the sewing projects that I completed in 2010. This post is one of those projects. The purchase of my sewing machine from Eddie's Quilting Bee came with free sewing classes. The first, back in January 2010, simply taught me how to use my machine.… Continue reading An Amy Butler Sun Hat
A Fisherman’s Bag
This past Christmas I gave two I-owe-you gifts to my family. The first was to be the golden bear blanket for my future niece/nephew, and the second was to be a mesh bag for my dad to use while he's fly fishing. I made the bear blanket during my January sewing class, and this past week,… Continue reading A Fisherman’s Bag
A Golden Bear
For Christmas I promised my brother and his wife a golden bear blanket for their future baby. I made it in my sewing class at Eddie's Quilting Bee last Wednesday, but I had trouble embroidering the eyes and nose and wasn't able to finish the blanket in class. This weekend I purchased some actual embroidery… Continue reading A Golden Bear
From History to Hobby (and Curtains)
In between sewing projects in 2011, I'm going to recount the sewing projects that I completed in 2010. This post is one of those projects. When I moved out to California for graduate school, I took with me my Grandmother's old sewing machine. It was one of those Singer machines built into a small wooden table.… Continue reading From History to Hobby (and Curtains)
